Differential lineage-specific amplification of transposable elements is responsible for genome size variation in Gossypium

JS Hawkins, HR Kim, JD Nason, RA Wing… - Genome …, 2006 - genome.cshlp.org
The DNA content of eukaryotic nuclei (C-value) varies ∼200,000-fold, but there is only a ∼20-fold
variation in the number of protein-coding genes. Hence, most C-value variation is …

Rapid DNA loss as a counterbalance to genome expansion through retrotransposon proliferation in plants

JS Hawkins, SR Proulx, RA Rapp… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
Transposable elements, particularly LTR-retrotransposons, comprise the primary vehicle for
genome size expansion in plants, while DNA removal through illegitimate recombination …

Interactions among plants, bacteria, and fungi reduce extracellular enzyme activities under long‐term N fertilization

JE Carrara, CA Walter, JS Hawkins… - Global Change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has enhanced soil carbon (C) stocks in temperate forests.
Most research has posited that these soil C gains are driven primarily by shifts in fungal …

[BOOK][B] Exploitation and developing countries: The ethics of clinical research

JS Hawkins, EJ Emanuel - 2008 - degruyter.com
When is clinical research in developing countries exploitation? Exploitation is a concept in
ordinary moral thought that has not often been analyzed outside the Marxist tradition. Yet it is …

Plant transposable elements: biology and evolution

E Kejnovsky, JS Hawkins, C Feschotte - Plant Genome Diversity Volume 1 …, 2012 - Springer
Beginning with the pioneering work in the 30s and 40s of Barbara McClintock, RA Brink,
Rollins Emerson, Marcus Rhoades, and other prominent maize geneticists, transposable …

[HTML][HTML] Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) polyubiquitin gene (PvUbi1 and PvUbi2) promoters for use in plant transformation

…, ZR King, W Liu, BL Joyce, RJ Percifield, JS Hawkins… - BMC …, 2011 - Springer
Background The ubiquitin protein is present in all eukaryotic cells and promoters from ubiquitin
genes are good candidates to regulate the constitutive expression of transgenes in plants…

Repeated big bangs and the expanding universe: Directionality in plant genome size evolution

JS Hawkins, CE Grover, JF Wendel - Plant Science, 2008 - Elsevier
The lack of correlation between genome size and organismal complexity has long been a
topic of great interest. Over the last decade it has become clear that transposable elements …

Clarifying confusions about coercion

JS Hawkins, EJ Emanuel - The Hastings Center Report, 2005 - JSTOR
These definitions highlight to faulty COt the close link between coercion and the idea of force.
Someone recommendati who succumbs to a threat will often say" my hand was forced." …

Differences in microbial community response to nitrogen fertilization result in unique enzyme shifts between arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal‐dominated soils

…, ZB Freedman, AN Hostetler, JS Hawkins… - Global Change …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
While the effect of nitrogen (N) deposition on belowground carbon (C) cycling varies, emerging
evidence shows that forest soils dominated by trees that associate with ectomycorrhizal …

Genetic diversity in Hypericum and AFLP Markers for species-specific identification of H. perforatum L.
